The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



March 21, 1912. 



An instantaneous change from ugliness to beauty ; from a repel- 

 lent clay pot which detracts greatly from the most graceful- 

 plant, to a dainty pot cover that adds to the beauty and 

 attracts the plant buyer, has been made possible by 



Ever-Ready Flower Pot Covers 



which are now used by leading florists throughout the country. 

 They are made in sizes and shapes to fit any pot or pan and 

 i , . . stand unlimited wear and tear. A strong cardboard foundation 



coveired with best quality waterproof crepe paper, tied with silk fiber ribbon at the top and bottom and firmly 

 faptfned with metal clips— such is the Ever-Ready. It is collapsible, thus requiring little storage space. Help your 

 Easter plants to sel| th^selves. The cost is so slight that you can give them away.

The carnations were prononnced ex- 

 ceptionally good by • all who atteafled, 

 and did great credit to the carnation 

 growers of Bochester and Vicinity; 



Pursell & Cragg had a fine exhibit of 

 roses, comprising Killarney, Bichmibnd, 

 Mrs. Aaron Ward, Taft an^- Kais^rin. 



It was voted to hold the Abwer pbow 

 during the week of November 3.' - 



The members of the association who 

 went to Ithaca last month to represent 

 the florists of this city at the State 

 Federation of Florists! ^Cljih^ reported 

 on the various phases of the gathering 

 and recommended that the Bochester 

 organization affiliate itself with it. The 

 recommendation, waa adopted. E. R.- 

 Fry and William Logan gave interest- 

 ing reports and stated that the next 

 meeting of the federation will be held 

 early in September, during the state 

 fair at Syracuse, N. Y. E. B. Fry was 

 elected vice-president of the State Fed- 

 eration of Florists' Clubs. 



Charles N. White, of Gasport, N. Y., 

 was the speaker of the evening and 

 gave a talk on "Carnations." Besides 

 his large establishment in Gasport, Mr. 

 White has 35,000 square feet of glass 

 in Medina, N. Y., and during the com- 

 ing summer he expects to move his en- 

 tire plant to Medina, which is on the 

 main line of a railroad, and this will 

 facilitate matters greatly in transporta- 

 tion and obtaining coal. He has ex- 

 perimented in sterilizing soil with live 

 steam, but did not get satisfactory re- 

 sults. A number of the florists present 

 asked questions on carnation culture, 

 which were answered by Mr. White. 



A lively discussion took place on 

 the pernicious practice of the free dis- 

 tribution of seeds by our government, 

 and several members were in faVor of 

 taking action to try to abolish this 

 custom. They believe it is a great 

 detriment to the seed trade in general. 



The next meeting of the association 

 will be held April 8, and John Dunbar 

 will give a talk on "Fall Pruning." 



It was decided to hold a banquet at 

 Hotel Powers, March 26, to which the 

 ladies and the friends of the members 

 of the association are invited. A big 

 time is expected.
